It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said three times: No disease is contagious. A Bedouin stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! When the first sore of mange appears on the lips or tail of a camel, then soon the whole big camel becomes mangy (this means that the disease is contagious)? Upon hearing this, you remained silent for a while and then said: Who caused the first camel to become sick? Neither is any disease contagious, nor is there any bad omen in the owl, nor is there any reality in Safar. Allah Almighty has created every soul and has written its life, death, calamity, and sustenance.
